The Caleta Hotel T: 00 (350) 200 76501 E: conf.banq@caletahotel.gi

With so many historical landscapes and things to do and see in Gibraltar you will be hard pushed to find the time to pack everything into a short visit. With it’s tropical planting and beautiful old streets it is no wonder that we have such a large number of repeat clients visiting Gibraltar year after year, celebrating special occasions with friends and family, getting married or having their marriage vows renewed here!

The Rock Hotel T: 00 (350) 200 73000 E: conference@rockhotel.gi

Gibraltar has seen hundreds of civil & religious weddings including several renewals of vows ceremonies. The marriage between two people is provided for under the Gibraltar Marriage Act. Under its provisions it is possible, by means of a Special License, granted under Section 13 of the Act, for residents and non-residents alike to get married in Gibraltar. It also enables a Marriage ceremony to be conducted at approved locations outside the Registry, outside working hours and at weekends.

Recent legislation permits the marriage registrar to marry couples outside the registry office, if requested. The following venues are approved to carry out civil weddings:

A-LINE Flattering for all brides, A line wedding dresses are fitted to the waist and then flow naturally to the floor.

BETSY by ROMANTICA A truly classic bridal style, the asymmetric pleating across the bodice will create the illusion of a slimmer waist and the perfect hourglass shape, great for curvy brides.

MERMAID A mermaid wedding dress is a style of evening gown that fits closely to the body through the torso and hips, then “fishtails” out in a flare to the floor.

PEIGHTON by ROMANTICA This striking mermaid style is perfect for a glamorous bride, The lace bodice will flatter the waistline while the illusion back will wow guests as you walk down the aisle.

EMPIRE An Empire silhouette gown, Empire line, Empire waist or just Empire is a style in women’s clothing in which the dress has a fitted bodice ending just below the bust, giving a high-waisted appearance, and a gathered skirt which is long and loosely fitting but skims the body rather than being supported by voluminous petticoats.

AQUAMARINE by ROMANTICA Light and flowing this style is a perfectly summery style, with a flattering V neck and delicate illusion straps.

BALLGOWN A ball gown is floor-length dress . It is the most formal (and fancy!) type of dress, and traditionally has a full skirt and fitted bodice.

SHEATH/ COLUMN Sheath/ Column gown-Definition of a Sheath Dress. A sheath dress features a silhouette that fits close to the body, and can have a hemline that hits anywhere from mid-thigh to mid-calf.

The neckline can vary, but a fitted waist is the focal point of this type of dress.

TEA LENGTH A tea-length dress is one whose hemline falls “above the ankle and below the knee.” Originally, the tea hem fell just above the ankle, but the modern tea-length dress is more likely to hit 3 to 4 inches above the ankle, in the mid-calf region.

EZRA by ROMANTICA Simple understated and chic, this style is perfect for a low key celebration or a destination wedding! The column silhouette is great for athletic figures.

Why you should employ a Wedding Planner Planning one of the biggest days of your life should be a joy but with so many different aspects to think of it can be daunting, stressful and very time consuming, especially when you are planning it in a foreign country without inside knowledge of the area and without a list of known quality suppliers. This is where a wedding planner is an essential ingredient. They know the whole process inside out and can do the hard part for you while leaving you in full control of your very special day.

Your wedding planner acts as a guide on everything from helping you choose; your location and venue, finding your own hair and makeup artist to suit your particular style, finding that perfect bouquet, sorting out any entertainment you may want from musicians to magicians, making the more mundane compulsory paperwork

stress free, helping you choose your photographer to catch that most memorable photo and much much more while at the same time keeping within budget and making all of the above an enjoyable experience! Let them be the one who does the organising you don’t want to do and who can be trusted with nurturing your own ideas of how you want your special day to be. They act as a warm friendly, knowledgeable approachable, professional and flexible (the bride is always the boss!) helper who knows how to get the best for you out of everybody involved in the process.

Who would want to do it alone when you can have someone listen to your needs, whims and wants and make them happen easily and stress free! To me they should be called wedding angels and who would not want one of those!

Rock Occasions is a passionate professional team who wants to ensure that everything goes according to your plan, so you can totally relax and enjoy the greatest day of your life.

Get in touch with us today.
